What’s with the chickens, Stingray Steel?

Say hello to Bessie (pictured above). We all remember the now-famous steel chickens "flying" around on stage during the awards ceremony of the most important competition ever: The Cheerleading and Dance Worlds! So what’s the word, bird? Check 'em out in the tweet below.

Wait for it...

Turns out, the birds were a gift for a couple of the girls on the team, and were such a hit that the flock became a sort of a pseudo-mascot for the team. There are three chickens total, and they even have their own Twitter account: @SteelChickens.

Name a more icon trio... we’ll wait pic.twitter.com/kiCs8acQBR

Now you'll see the iconic chicken trio at events with the team, including The MAJORS of course, and hopefully we'll even see them on stage again at Worlds 2018!
